Max and Katie seem like losers. I can handle her, but he looks like a guy who was bullied as a kid and that has turned him into a douchey smartass who takes his revenge on anyone, I hope they don't last long.

chill out! i love how they know they're losers <333 that was such a good plan to conjure the other teams into quitting the rb and battling it out on the canoes, genius i tell you, GENIUS!

I'm just going to express again that I hate luck tasks, especially with Bates and Anthony checking in 2nd after like searching 2 sandcastles. I don't blame the task for Matt and Daniel's elimination, since they were too arrogant with the boat task.

I'm shocked they all took the penalty. If I was racing, I would have not agreed to take the penalty hoping that I have kept good track at which sandcastles I knocked down, but then again, I wasn't out there for 3 hours either.

Jimmer as soon as i heard the canoe comment i was like there out lol. But I think it was more confident than arrogant, especially it being a confessional and not on scene. But ya i heard that and just went NNOOOOOOOOOO

In getting ready to send the teams off, Phil reprises a phrasology from the first season I haven't heard him use since. ("Most of the teams will be eliminated...but the team that reaches the finish line first will win The Amazing Race and $1 million") (Check Phil's narration over the opening credits of that season)

Clearly some new places are in the opening credits, as well as images of places and people we've seen since the show switched to HD.

Two extreme roadblocks in the first leg. I crewed on a hot air balloon flight where skydivers jumped out, but I've not heard of the use of helicopters for civilian use in skydiving. Note that the team member were in tandem with a trained jumper, so we can assume that team members had safety instruction prior to going up. But still.....the fifth team to arrive at that roadblock got the short end of the stick....as they had to wait for teams from the second flight out of LAX to get to Bora Bora.

The decision of the last three teams to quit and take their chances on who would get to the pit stop first was risky but understandable. That was one hell of a roadblock. Requiring the teams to replace the sandcastles as they checked them certainly made the task much more difficult for the trailing teams. I have to question why teams started right at the closest end and not scatter themselves at different points along the lines of sand castles. I can see why it was taking teams 4 hours and still not finish with the replacement requirement. Could it be any more random?
